Three decades on the tools, working out of 9th Avenue Avon with the spares and gear nobody else keeps.
Our Story
We have spent over thirty years learning what actually holds up on a job site, and we stock our floor accordingly. From the unusual spares you cannot find anywhere else in Cape Town to solid new and second-hand gear, if it is in our shop, it is worth your money.
You walk in, tell us what you are fixing, and we will point you straight at the part that does the job.
The Range
New kit, tested second-hand gear, and the odd spares bin that has saved many a weekend project. Come see what is in stock today.
More Than Parts
We back our stock with actual tradesmen. When the job is bigger than a Saturday afternoon, our team steps in.
Professional advice, quotations, etc.! From building, carpentry, and plumbing to anything to do with home improvement.
BookWhy Us
We hunt down the odd, rare items other stores will not bother keeping on the shelf.
Over 30 years of experience means we know what works, what fails, and what to send you home with.
The best service in Cape Town. We serve everyone—from tradesmen to first-time DIYers.
